Planting a garden beside a fence
-
Sia@South 47th on Jul 16, 2013I take it you have a wood fence? And you are wanting to plant right up against it? Is the wood treated or raw? Generally, if you plant right against a wood fence, the wood will rot. Why? Because you are watering and putting stress on the fence with the dirt and plants.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jul 17, 2013Just keep the dirt off of it. perhaps place a rubber edge that you use along where the grass meets the garden or a landscape timber to keep the soil off of the fence boards just to protect it from moisture decay. Even if the fence is treated wood and painted, you do not want earth/wood contact. Not only decay but insects find this as something to eat.Helpful Reply
